MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF VESICULAR GLANDS OF INDIGENOUS BULL (Pages : 11 - 14)

The morphometric analysis of the vesicular glands of indigenous bull in Bangladesh was studied. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Anatomy under the Department of Anatomy and Histology during the period from April to July, 2009. Vesicular glands of the indigenous bull of same ages were found to differ in length, breadth, thickness and weight. The average length, breadth, thickness and weight of the right gland were 9.44 cm, 2.78 cm, 1.45 cm, 19.90 gm respectively, which are higher than those of left gland. In case of four years old bull the length, breadth, thickness and weight of vesicular glands were found highest than those of the two and three years old bull. 0.12 mm distance between the opening of the duct of vesicular gland and ductus deferens was present. Both the ducts of vesicular gland and ductus deferens open 0.25 mm away from the ventro-lateral aspect of the urethral canal as common opening. The duct of vesicular gland opens 2.5 cm caudal to the opening of the urinary bladder. This study revealed that the length, breadth, thickness and weight of the vesicular gland varied among the different indigenous bull and also in the right and left vesicular gland of the same bull.
